Something fishy ...

So I'm at my parents' house and there's salad with dinner. The salad has cucumbers and tomatoes in it.
I eat a piece of tomato and pause. It has a distinctive fishy flavour to it. Thinking I'm having taste bud hallucinations, I eat another piece of tomato. Still fishy. I eat a third. Fishy.

Shit.

So I ask if anyone else think the tomatoes taste fishy and get confirmations all around.

What I'm thinking is that the strain of tomatoes with fish genes spliced into them has landed in our salad.

I thought that the transfer of the fish gene to tomatoes was unsuccessful (as in, the desired effects weren't observed), and there are no actual tomatoes in circulation that have that particular gene (taken from fish) in them

either way, I doubt that the fish taste would be present in such a tomato. The gene transfered would be only one gene, and properties such as taste come from many genes, and probably not the same ones used for enhancing properties of tomatoes. It is doubtless any tomato would be released if a modification caused it to taste fishy. Probably just went bad.

The grocery store recently renovated and put their fresh fish right beside the produce. It sucks. I am not a picky eater, but I really really don't like the smell of fish and having to pick out my produce while being bombarded with a fishy smell is ridonkulous...

Maybe your grocery store has the same thing, and the tom's picked up the taste by olfactory osmosis...olfactory osmosis....cool...
